GREAT CLIMATE. AN ENGLISHMAN GIVES HIS OPINION OF CALIFORNIA. SOCO?. f-.v-r<i? ?>f H Wenl^rn State Corn paroi to -KtiRUnU--GooVl Advtco fol Tbo.* Who Thlufc o? Making Theil Hom* lo Thal Matv^io<i<) Country. I am writing on Jan. 14. Over in the mild elimata of England my fellow gar deners "ar? protecting' their plants from frost and sheltering carefully all those * pottad plants which they are going to . fore? to?- tht?, market. California ? largo-twice tho si zo of England", I should say. But if you want to. find a plac?; here where yon would have to do tho like in youT profession yon would have to -nant th*> cool and somewhat treacherous bay sufronndingSjOf our me tropolis, or you would have j? climb thc peaka of our Sierras, and then you would have to reach an elevation of 3,000 feet before finding places with a real winter "We havis no winter here, and what ia generali)' called, winter is understood to be the rainy season. This season is very mild, and we work at our places here in the foothills of the Sierras in shirl sleeves today and call it a most beauti ful days Our foothills" rival the; valley ; we have the high mountains at the back of us protecting us from the dry winds of the plains east of them and giving us the benefit ol' tn'e warm reflection of the ann, which shines here almost every day. . Our grap PS ripen at 2,000 feet elevation, but s?veu days later than those from Ihe Fresno region; while our climate is not so hot; being easier reached by the winds which blow every day from the ocean., "We can dry raisins in the sun in. spite of the, occasional early raina '?if which set in once in awhile in the hay - ing season, at the end of July. The highest temperature I have re corded for four years was 112 degs. Fahr, in the- shade. I must say for a person coming from a cool climate, hice that of England, this is anything ' but agreeable. But then 112 degs. up in the mountains feels nothing like that heat in the valley, where no air miry blow at the time. Hot spells last usually from three to live days, and then again we record 00 degs. to 95 degs., or even 85 ? degs. Fahr., for .weeks at a time. By the time a person has been living here for say five years he gets pretty well used to it and lives through it Just like, everybody else. ? . ? A HEALTHY CUM A TE. . It is healthy hero. The air is won derfullyjmrr?. and the fogs ' which visit us from the ocean are quite pleasant, pure and 4-efr?shirigi- The Coast range is different altogether. It is affected, by the evaporation of the^ocean, and conse quently cooler and temperate. The Coast range cuts the valley sharply from the c>cean border, and its peculiar ity is best demonstrated by alluding to the fact that, while the grape never ripens akSan Francisco, ten miles from it, just behind the Coast range, there lies tho lind which, supplies the city nearly all the year round-with the.most delicious strawberries. Most people who come to California ]. usually stop and stay at San Francisco. The climate is more agreeable, and there are more fellow countrymen, and all the advantages which city life offers. But the most acceptable openings are in tho interior. Gardeners, as a rule, are peo ple who are least afraid of anything, and if they cannot get a job at their owl, trade, very well, they try another. Fruit growing is at its very host b California, and ?ts climate is adapted ic every kidd ia every part. Thc. gnrpw will grow and ripen, rich. in'alcohol - sour like ?. Riesling, just a3 you choose to pick yotir location. The orange is a home south and north up to ?,5?U feet 'and, wonderful to'note, the apple will ripen side by side with this subtropical fruit. Olives seem destined to shade every hillside which now gives ground to pines and underbrush, and peaches and apricots bring such wonderful re-" turcs that it is not surprising that Eng lish capital *>eeks investment by the million. GOOD ADVICE. If only the ground is kept cultivated r it needs no irrigation, and shoots of*ten, twelve or even fifteen feet in length on two-year-old trees are something a per son may see from the railroad car while traveling through our glorious state. The population of California is still small. One million and a quarter is all this state's census gave as the number of inhabitants. There will be homes for j nsf as many as may choose to come and work their way. The great danger is that the warm climate and the ease with which the so? gives a return will make the people too lazy. The young genera tion springing up at the present is not as energetic, as their, forefathers, from whatever country, they came. Tunes have been too easy for the old folks-if they did not make any money through labor they did so in trading, and as a h'st and most important resource they can fall back upon their real estate and turn into money what the emigrants arg willing to buy. The estates are too large altogether at present, and the mor^ they are -cut up the better it will b?. V The man who comes here ought to know a trade, and be a handy man all around. He should be content to work for other people for a time until he gets. accustomed to the ways of this climate. And he should work at the wages which the trade unions have established. As he works far other people he has the best opportunity to watch his chance without running any risk.-Jackson (Cal.) Cor. Gardner's Chronicle. The Siae of Solomon's Temple. Solomon's Temple, as described in the Scriptures, would not be regarded as a very imposing structure in this day and age of the world. Its length was 107 feet, breadth 86 feet, and it was 54 feet-| in height, with' a portico or veranda 36 feet long and 18 feet wide. We have private houses that overshadow such an rmpretending structure.-St Louis Re t^hlifi. _ - Hot a Nourishing Diet. An old Scotch servant attached to the household of the famous British logician, Sir William Hamilton, was as proud of his master's fame as if it had been his own, and, having picked up a few of Sir William's technical words and phrases, brought them into play on every possible occasion. One day a gentleman who was fond of drawing out old John for the amuse ment of the company said to him, with au engaging air: "I suppos?, John, now that you've lived so long'with such a great reasoner as Sir William, you are quite able to conduct an argument yourself?" "Weel, I winna say sae muckle as {hat," Teplied the old Scotchman, with the modesty of true genius, "but if I canna conduct an airgyment, I'm think in I could draw an inference." ..Could you? Let us see, then? There's an Eastern proverb, you know, about the wild ass snuffing ap the east wind. Now what inference would yon draw from that?' For a moment old John looked non plussed, as well he might, and then a gleam of sly humor twinkled in the cor ner of his dark gray eye, and he an swered, with a grim chuckle: MAweel, the inference th?t 1 wad draw from that wad be that he might muff a lane time before he grew fat!" h Modera Education. With all its novel modern powers and practical sense I am forced to admit that the purely scientific brain is miserably mechanical; it seems to haye become a splendid sort of self directed machine, an incredible automaton, grinding on with, its analysis or constructions. But for pore sentiment, for all that spon taneous Greek waywardness of fancy, for the temperature o:? passion and .the subtler thrill of ideality, you might aa well look to a wrought iron derri ok. Science found education blundering peacefully along, cultivating half of -the mind 'with charming results and letting the other die" of-disuse; ic worked the.' startling miracle of electrifying this dead half into life and bringing it to perfect activity, and straightway, satis fied with this remarkable achievement; it proceeded to' neglect the ideal half which the classics had made so much of and *cc-/used it to perish. It has s ?bst i toted a new sort of half mai for the old cmV^?larence King in Forum. Skill In the Wrist. It is wonderful what a part the wrist plays in exercises in winch physical skill and delicacy are required. After a man learns to play billiards well enough to be familiar with the cushions and the English, the important thing to cultivate is his stroke. It ts-the hardest thing about billiard playing to get-4? good stroke, and sometimes the greatest play ers "fall down" because they lose con trol of it. Now, the stroke wholly de pends on the-action of the wrist. Jake. Schaeffer, or any good player,will make a shot of seven: cushions with less ap parent force than a beginner will exert in getting three. This is due to the su perior wrist movement. It's the same way with violin playing. The qiality and touch all depend on wrist mani pul ation. So wita curving a baseball. Great pitchers always work a strong wrist movemdnt on. the ball as it leaves the-hand.. If they didn't it wouldn't curve at all.-St., Louis Globe Democrat._? Storks Ara ijuwr Creutu/ea Tile owner of a house mear Berilo found a single egg in the nest ot a pair of storks, built on the chimney, and sub stituted for it a goose's egg, which in due time was hatched, and produced a gos] ing instead, of the expected storkling. The male bird was thrown into the great* sst excitement by this event, and finally flew away. The female, however, re niai ned on the nest an d c on tin ned to care for the changeling aa though'it were her own offspring. On the morning of the fourth dayfthe male reappeared accom panied, by nearly 500 storks, which held a mass meeting in an adjacent field. The assembly, we are informed, was ad dressed by several speakers, each orator posting himself on the same spot -before beginning his harangue. These delibera tions and discussions occupied nearly the entire forenoon, when suddenly the meeting broke up, and all the storks pounced upon the unfortunate female md her supposititious young one, killed them both, and, after destroying the polluted nest, took wing and departed md were never seen there again.-At lantic Monthly. ?.'j A Regimental Goat. The royal regiment of Welsh fusiliers has the privilege of passing in review, preceded by a goat with gilded horns and adorned with flowers. Every March t, on St. David's day, after the banquet, his goats hip is led thrice round the table by a boy. In 1844 the then regimental goat died, and to compensate " the twenty-third for their loss her. majesty presented Ito regiment with two of the Ernest goi.ts" from a flock-the gift of the shah of Persia-in Windsor park, and once that date the queen has continued ta supply the royal Welsh fusiliers with goats as occasion has required.-'Pall Mall Budget Kot So Stupid. The overbearing ways of drill ser geants with new recruits are a familiar subject of gossip in the barracks of European countries. On one occasion a recruit-a prof es nonal man-showed so little aptitude tor military movements that the ser geant broke out at him: "Blockhead! Are they all such idiots is you in your family?" "No," said the recruit, "I have a mother who is a great deal more stupid han I am." "Possible? And what on earth does ?ins incomparable blockhead dor "HQ is a sergeant."-Youth's Com lanion.

Jim Whit itch, the discoverer of the Whitlatch Jnion mine, nearTHelena, led a typical restera miner's life. The mine in qnes ion is now owned in England and bas rroduced $20,000,000 in gold. After Jim Vhitlatch had sold the property for 1,500,000. ho went to B'ew York "to uake as much money as Vanderbilt" Ie wa s a rare treat-to Wall street, which atten sd on him, and in one year let him ;o with orly the clothes on his back.

Hogarth -hal touched the subject, bat only touched it No one couHd do more in a picture than indicate -;he mere fringe of thia vast subject. Even on the printed page we can do little more than the pain tee For'instance, the following were some of the more common and every day and all day long noises: Some of th? shop keepers still kept np the custom of hav ing a prentice outside bawling an invi tation to bay! buyl bay! To this day batchers in Clare market cry out at their stalls all day long*. "Rally up, ladies!. Rally up! Buy! buy! buy!" In the streets of private houses there passed a never ending pro cession of those who bawled. things fer sale. Here are a few of the things they bawled; I am conscious that it is a very .imperfect list. There were those who offered to do things-mend chairs, grind knives, solder pots and pans, buy rags or kitchen stuff, rabbit skins, hair or rusty swords, exchange old clothes and wigs", mend old china, cat wires-this excruciating, rasping operation was ap parently done in the open-or cooper casks. i There was next the multitude of those who carried wares to sell-?a things to 'eat and drink-saloop, baxie} broth, rice and milk furmety,. Shrewsbury cakes, eggs, butter, lily white vinegar, hot peas cods, rabbite, birds, pnlleta, ginger bread, oysters*, honey, cherry, ripe, Cha ney oranges, hoi; codlins, pippins, fruit of~all kinds, "fiiih, taffety tarts, fresh water, tripe, tansy, greens, mustard, salt, gray pease, water cresses, shrimps, rosemary, lavender, milk, elder buds; or things of domestic use-lace, ribbons, almanacs, ink, small coal, sealing wax, wood to cleave, earthenware, spigots, combs,, buckles, lanterns, pewter pots, brooms in exchange for old shoes, things of horns, Holland socks, woolen socks and wrappers, brimstone .matches, flint I and steel, shoe lacee, scissors and tools, straps and the thousand and one things which are now sold in shops. The bear-ward came along, with his animal and his digs and his dram. .the sweep shouted from tho housetop, the ballad singer bawled in th? road, the tumbler and th? dancing girl set ..up their pitch with fife and drum. Nobody minded how much noise was made. Ic the smaller-street? the good wives sat -with, open doors runni-g in and out, gossiping over their work; they liked the noise;; they liked this perambulating market-it made the street lively, it brought-the neighbors out to'talk and it pleased the baby. Then the wagons went ponderously grinding over the round stones of the road, the carts ram bled, the brewenf sledges growled, the chariot rattled, the drivers quarreled, cursed and fought. - ' The late Mr. Lowell spoke of the con tinu ?1 murmur of London as of Niagara afar off. A hundred years ago he would have spoken of the continual roar. WalterBcsantin Harpers. Why Many Treatment* Yali. "The fault is not of the art, but of the patient," is the pl rase that may be ap plied to those diseases in which the most correct measures taken under favorable circumstances fail to accomplish their purpose, because the patient himself does not or cannot co-operate with them. No treatment can relieve the smoker from his.throat catarrh, BO long as he persists in his habit. This aspect of the case ia especially pertinent to the nervous disorders which aro one of the growing scourges of our age. Incapacity and vacillation, the force of outer influences or the pressure of business too often intervene to inter rupt a cure which was otherwise fairly possible.-Professor H. Nothnagel in Popular Science Monthly. A Typewriter's Luncheon. A young woman whose work as a typewriter makes her daily luncheon at a restaurant a necessity says that the most satisfactory and sustaining meal she gets is a. plate of raw oysters, with a bottle of ginger ale and plenty of brown bread and butter. If she feels poor she omits the ale, which is an ap preciable item, and contents herself with the oysters and bread. "There are so few things to be had at the average res taurant that are satisfactoryshe says, "but you may really rely on the oysters and Boston brown bread.**-New York Times. ,_ Import-ce of Plate* te Collectors.
